The Incorporated States of Kinixys is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 475 million Kinixysians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlandier. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Kinixysian economy, worth 20.4 trillion Chelones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 43,051 Chelones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, carbon-footprint restrictions are making businesses walk, and tabloids publicly shun nurses for not calling home on the weekends. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kinixys's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kinixys is ranked 72,223^rd in the world and 32^nd in Texas for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,614.89 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
